Life With A Hedgehog 2.0

Life With A Hedgehog 2.0

So it's officially been four and a half months since Sir Charles came into my life.

I haven't been able to spend a lot of quality time with him since I've been at college but my family has kept me updated.

I've been asked many times at school what a hedgehog eats and in case you were wondering, they eat dry cat food. He also gets so so excite when you give him one of those crinkle cat ball toys. Those are his absolute favorite.

Every time I come home I take the opportunity to have a mini photo shoot with him. How can you not? He's so adorable!

Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so they're more active at night time. My mom has told me that he makes some really odd noises at night and I just heard recently heard them for the first time. He kind of sounds like a mix between a guinea pig and a hyena, but he's so cute that he makes up for it.

Charlie doesn't like when my dogs bark and he shows it by curling up into a little ball and making hissing noises. He's getting better at not letting their barks bother him but he still gets nervous sometimes. If you try and pet him while his spikes are up, be careful! He's as prickly as he looks. But despite that fact, he's absolutely the cutest little thing and I wouldn't trade him for anything except maybe like a million dollars. (just kidding Charlie!)

Thanks for reading! Sir Charles is doing really well in his new home and I'll keep you all updated (:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
